Our calendars are open for 2022 and we have already had quite a few early bird bookings. Our rates continue to be very competitive and loyalty discounts are offered to our many returning guests.

We offer winter lets in our barn cottages from November but in normal times our 4 star lodge is open all year.
We are still fully geared with all the protocols of cleaning and signage to meet the extra requirements that Covid-19 be alert and stay safe requires.
We have four Visit England 3* self-catering barn conversion cottages, and a luxury 3-bedroomed Visit England 4* Wessex built lodge cabin called Otter’s Holt. All with Wi-Fi access! Our properties are surrounded by 2 acres of gardens and paddock with a large (secure) duck pond. We have a fully equipped recreation room with table football, large collection of DVD’s to borrow, books, indoor and outdoor games and much more.

Our Guests' Reviews
We had a fantastic stay in Badgers. Lovely rooms, good facilities, a most welcoming cake, tea, egg & milk on arrival. Excellent situation for traveling for walks, houses and sites. Sherborne Castle grounds are a must! Hunters Moon (next door) served excellent food for “meatatarians” & vegetarians – try the steak and ale mushroom & suet pudding good beer and cider too.
Thank you very much – our poodles loved it.
Thank you Suzy & Nick
Lovely place and convenient location for lots of places to visit. Attention to detail is great including the cake and eggs. Thank You!
Alasdair, Sarah & Isabelle
Spacious, airy lovely ‘home’. Every English bird you could want to see (p.s. bring binoculars next time!) Lots of info in the recreation room – a good short break!!
Paul & Marilyn
Even better the second time around – felt like home away from home! Loved seeing all the wildlife and I want to steal the rabbits they are so cute.
The ultimate holiday home, we will be back many many more times
